. . . and it isn’t “Segway” either. Now, we love us some things with wheels, and Segways are cool under some circumstances. I’ve always wanted to take a Segway tour in a new city, for example. That could be way cool, right?
Conversely, a Segway might make things more difficult. Say, if you were pushing your precious little dumpling’s stroller across a four-lane road, could only use one hand on the stroller, and had only one hand left over to control the Segway. Or, if, say, you also had to lean way, way over to reach the stroller handle, while at the same time keeping your rear pushed in the opposite direction as a counterbalance:

Nice work, Mom. I’m hoping it was enough of a pain that you’re using the Segway solo now.
Wait a minute — that’s not a Graco, is it? Please, please tell me that stroller is at least a Chicco! What kind of person buys a $5,000 Segway to push a Graco? Or even a Chicco? We’re not talking about just a matter of taste here. If you’re going to commit this kind of stupidity, you at least ought to have the sense to buy yourself some decent suspension and some nice, air-filled tires to put under that baby.
This photo’s been all over the Internet, but I think I tracked it to its source: seattlest.
